WordPress Admin Performance Benefits

Michael was also frustrated his wp-admin area was very slow. Who can blame him? Who wants to wait 15 seconds to manage their WordPress or WooCommerce site?

It should only take under 2 seconds in the wp-admin backend

Performance Troubleshooting

A very popular news site in Asia was so slow you could not even access the admin area. After I spent several hours troubleshooting the results blew the client (and myself) away!

Thanks to Kinsta Hosting for the New Relic screenshot – a fantastic company with great speed and quality support.

Database Cleanup

One client had an agonizingly slow wp-admin area because of a bloated database which was excruciating to work in.

It used to take 45 seconds to perform anything there

Now it takes around 200ms after a thorough database cleanup!

Take the Leap

If you are looking to take your WordPress or WooCommerce speed optimization to the next level, let’s talk. I have extensive experience with Linux servers as a sysadmin and systems engineer on Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS and others. Server-side performance solutions like Apache, nginx, Varnish, Redis, memcached, Apache Solr and Elasticsearch are just a few of the technologies I work with daily. I can help you automate with scripting or help harden your site as well the way pros do it.

My Work with WordPress Professionals

Tom Usborne from GeneratePress was my first client whom I helped move hosting to save $500 a month and improve the speed of his site. Tom has also implemented performance improvements to his themes based on my feedback. I am privileged to work with Frank Gossens (the creator of Autoptimize) to create new awesome plugins. Most recently, my volunteer performance work has been with Elementor who have been taking on my suggestions to help make Elementor even faster.

My Free Time

In my free time I write tutorials for making WordPress faster on WP Bullet Guides and design plugins to make our sites more awesome via WP Bullet. I also weightlift, enjoy watching football and assist on various WordPress groups on Facebook.

Project rating:

Mike did a great job communicating his plan, his finidings and proposing next steps. He was also helpful in discussing topics that were not directly related to the project. Most striking was Mike's honesty in proposing to drop the next steps since he believed (and he was right) that they wouldn't be cost effective and cheaper solutions were available. It is a pleasure working with a developer that isn't just out to write hours, but thinks of the client's needs and puts in extra effort out of his own curiousity. I look forward to working with Mike again in the future.

Focused on exactly what I needed. Came up with a fix very quickly. Did not "oversell" me on things I don't need. Clearly knows what he is doing when I don't, but I can kind of tell when someone does. :)

Mike found and fixed my issue super quickly. His knowledge of Wordpress and Woocommerce really shows. I am inspired to put together a proper project for Mike to optimize the site so that I can take advantage of Mike's expertise.

This review is long overdue, as Mike has been a LIFESAVER for my site many times over the past year! He has helped improved my site’s performance, performed a migration to a new host, setup sitewide https, added several layers of security, and fixed several other issues along the way - all with extremely fast, responses, patience, and expert skill.
Mile always provides excellent support, information, and guidance. He responds quickly and makes himself readily available, even checking in from time to time to make sure a previous recurring issue was resolved. You're definitely in good hands!! :)
